ABSTRACT Introduction Ixodes ricinus, the castor bean tick, is the most prevalent tick species in Europe. It favours habitats such as shrubs, deciduous and mixed forests, but can also be found in urban environments. Due to its high vector competence, it is of enormous veterinary as well as medical importance, transmitting tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE ...

Seasonal infestation of birds with immature stages of Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes arboricola
This study assessed the parasitization of cavity-nesting birds and ground-nesting/foraging birds with larvae and nymphs of two Ixodes species, Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes arboricola. Totals of 679 (52.3%) I. ricinus and 619 (47.7%) I. arboricola ticks were collected from 15 species of passerine birds which were caught during the nesting and non-nesting ...

Babesia species in questing Ixodes ricinus, Sweden
Babesiosis is an emerging tick-transmitted zoonosis in large parts of the world. In Sweden, the occurrence and diversity of Babesia species is largely unknown. In order to estimate the exposure to Babesia from infected ticks, we collected questing Ixodes ricinus from several sites across southern Sweden during two consecutive field seasons and ...

Hatching of the Egg of Ixodes ricinus L. [PDF]
THE mechanism of hatching in the sheep tick does not seem to have been previously described. When freely laid, the eggs are oval, but deposition in crevices results in a certain amount of flattening. Examination of the egg under the microscope reveals that the brown colour is due to a thin semi-transparent shell, covering the brown internal mass.

Genetic diversity of Salp15 in the Ixodes ricinus complex (Acari: Ixodidae).
Salp15, a 15-kDa tick salivary gland protein, is both essential for ticks to successfully obtain host blood and also facilitates transmission of Lyme borreliosis. To determine whether the Salp15 gene is expressed in Ixodes persulcatus and Ixodes sinensis,

The scutum of the tick, Ixodes ricinus L.
It is a common observation that in individual Ixodes ricinus L. ticks, size variations occur; such variation is reflected in the records of early workers (Wheler, 1899; Neumann, 1899: quoted by Nuttall, Warburton, Cooper & Robinson, 1911). The present paper attempts to examine the true specific importance of size variation by basing the study on ...
